Not many people knew who he was. While scheduled to open the 3rd day of Woodstock, Jefferson Airplane was on the stage earlier that morning as they kept getting pushed later and later. The Grease Band started with a couple of songs on their own before Joe took the stage for "Dear Landlord" in his soulful voice. It was an intense 11 song performance that ended "With A Little Help From My Friends." After that day, Joe Cocker was unknown no more.

This painting would great in a space that is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, beige. or natural wood.

Where I'm from reveals who I am. A small working class town on the shores of western Michigan during industrial decline. Families packing up and leaving for far off places just for the opportunity to work at a decent wage. But that struggle has made the community stronger as it fights to revive downtown with new shops, residences, and breweries. Sometimes it's best to be the underdog.

This drawing would look best in almost any space with it's neutral tones. The paper is a light pink hue.
